Manalapan scored on Wake Forest commit Chris Levonas and got a big-time performance on the mound from two seniors in Monday's win over No. 1 CBA.

CBA has a young team, but a hammer on the mound that will make the Colts the favorite in an always-loaded Class A North division.

Howell and Manalapan are off to very different starts, but both had standout players during the first 10 days of the season.
